pages giving the names and postoihce
address of ali the fish and game wardens

A DAUoHrER of the late millionaire De
PAW now comes up and begins suit for
sixth interest in the estate 1egardless
of the will, and from the first statement
of her case will likely get it. She mar
ried against her fathers wishes and was
practically cut of. AT any rate the edu-
cational institutions which were to have
large requests will likely wait until the
lawyers get their shares and then if there
is any left the educational institutions
and heirs will come in.

The returns made to the national head
quarters of the Grand Army of the Re-
public for the fiscal year ending on the
8lst of last March show that pecuniary
relief was afforded by the organization
to 266O6 persons during the year, of
whom 17,607 were members of the Grand
Army and 5000 were either old soldiers
not members, or those dependent on old
soldiers or deceased veterans The whole
amount so expended and reported reached
the sum of $253,936.43. Is is estimated
that us much more was expended by local
posts for the same purpose, in an in

tiop, so much illuminated of late, has
been doing large amount of useful
charitable work.
